Plus Instruments

Plus Instruments' existence spans over the last 4 decades in a variety of constellations. Often also credited [b]+ Instruments[/b] the project was established in 1978 by [a=Truus de Groot] in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, as she tinkered with toy and electronic instruments in her flat - amidst the explosion of Punk Rock & New Wave. Even though Truus was very active in those genres, the more experimental side gradually took over and the concept of Plus Instruments was born. She first collaborated with [a=Bregt Camphuijzen] and released a 7" as [i]BAnd T + Instruments[/i] in 1980. Collaborations with [a68040] in 1980-1981 gave the band more visibility. The project has continued since, essentially as a project by Truus & the people she involves.
